Manning is hardly a fresh face being the Giants’ quarterback for 16 seasons and was twice named the MVP of the Super Bowl. He is also an omnipresent face on commercials for such companies as Toyota, Reebok, Gatorade, Kraft, Citizen, Samsung, DirecTV, Nike, Hublot, Visa and of, course, Tostitos as Frank’s Red Hot where he says he “puts that [expletive] on everything.”
The Sports Emmys will be handed out on May 24 at 7:00 p.m. ET at watch.theemmys.tv.
